Written by the company

Our main service centre is the building of 16-18 Hatton Garden and houses 12 brand accredited watchmakers, a dedicated vintage department and an entire refurbishment & polishing department. We are proud to be one of the largest and most brand accredited service centres in the world (with service centres in both the UK and USA) and were recently the subject of short documentary made by CNN International which was broadcast across the globe and was also featured in The New York Times. You can drop your watch off at any of our 2 locations in London (Hatton Garden & Canary Wharf), Manchester (Harvey Nichols) or New York (Madison Avenue) and no appointment is required. You will be greeted by one of our technicians who will discuss your required repair and provide you with a detailed receipt once your watch is booked in. Alternatively, you may send your watch to us Free of Charge by ordering our, pre-paid, secure, tracked and insured (to £25,000) postage pack. We pride ourselves on our rapid turnaround time merged with the highest quality craftsmanship. It is rare that any job is 'too large or too small' and we are often able to carry out part repairs such as glass replacements, crown replacements, bracelet adjustments and refurbishment & polishing, without the need for a full service. Battery replacements & water resistance testing are carried out the same day, along with a water & pressure resistance test and receipt.

Absolutely Fantastic 😍

Sent my Tag Heuer to Luxury Watch Repairs for a case polish as it was covered in scratches. They sent a sturdy case and secure envelope to send my watch off to them. During the process I was kept up to date with the progress of my repair including photos.
My watch was returned in a sturdy case which can be reused. Particularly good for spectacles!
My watch looked like new. I shall be using them again with confidence. Thank you Luxury Watch Repairs.

Reply from Luxury Watch Repairs

Hello,

We’re sorry to read this review, however we have not been able to identify you as a customer of ours.

As there is no name, order number, or repair reference included, we have been unable to locate any record of your experience with us. We have therefore reached out via Trustpilot’s “Find Reviewer” request to ask for a name or repair number so we can investigate properly.

We also strongly refute the claim that we are a scam. This is a very serious allegation and is completely unfounded. We are an established business and take great pride in the service we provide to our customers.

If you have genuinely had an experience with us, please respond to our request with your details and we will be more than happy to look into this for you. We will also update this reply in more detail.

Yours sincerely,

Luxury Watch Repairs

Can’t fault LWR

Can’t fault LWR. I sent a 50 year Heuer for a repair/service. Communications were fantastic. I ultimately decided not to go ahead with the repair and recalled the watch, it was back with me within a week. LWR are very easy to deal with and are very customer focussed. Thanks LWR

Had my watch service with this company and they said I required a new main spring as it is automatic
The quote was for £612 and had to be paid up front which I did
I received my watch back after 10 weeks . It now loses time and only runs for 2 hours when I take it off
Contacted the company many times via email as they do not answer the phone
No response so I am stuck with a faulty watch and £612 out of pocket
Stay clear of this company

TAG Watch Service

Admittedly, the watch took quite a while for it to be serviced, and the strap replaced. However, I have just received my watch today. LWR have done an amazing job. I am very impressed with the condition of the watch, and the service they have provided. The watch looks as good as it did on the day I purchased it.

LWR, couriered the return of my watch securely and kept me informed of the delivery process and delivery date via DHL.

Avoid this company like the plague

Avoid this company like the plague. Last August I sent them my watch and £550 payment for a service and new battery. I spent months chasing them for a date of return; when they did respond they were generally unhelpful and at times belligerent. They are currently in administration and if other reviews are correct this is a regular occurrence. Fortunately the Administrators were helpful and I received my watch back, over 6 months later, unrepaired, and £550 out of pocket. Do not trust this company.

Tag watch battery replacement.

I sent my Tag watch off for a battery replacement as the watch wasn't working. They sent me a secure case and return packaging in the post at no cost to myself. From recieving the packaging to send it in, it was fixed and back in my possession within a week. They even sent me a personalised email to ask how everything was afterwards which is a touch of class. Would definitely recommend them.

Great service from LWR in hatto

LWR in Hatton Gardens consistently provides exceptional service. The team has adjusted my bracelet on two occasions without charge, demonstrating their commitment to client satisfaction. Their professionalism and welcoming demeanor further solidify their reputation as a top-tier company. I will be entrusting all my watches to their care for future servicing.

Only 1 star as can’t give a zero

Only 1 star as can’t give a zero! Absolute sham of a company who steal money and hold on to watches for months. Don’t fall for the good reviews, they are most likely written by the company themselves! Do your research. Try to contact them by phone or email and you will soon see, check them out with companies house and their administrators, Pricewaterhouse. After holding on to watches for the best part of a year whilst the company went through administration and taking nearly £600 for work never completed, we finally got them returned but unfortunately fell for the slick website and reviews, didn’t pay by credit card and are now £600 out of pocket and been through months of stress and frustration and wasted hour upon hour on phone calls and emails to get our property back.

Avoid

Avoid. I paid c £1,000 to get my watch fixed in April 2024. Since then the company has apparently been liquidated or restructured. Last week they emailed me to say, after 23 months my watch had passed all the checks. When it arrived today 13th Feb 2026, it didn't work at all and when I shake it, it sounds like all the innards are slopping around!! I will send it to an authorised Omega dealer to evaluate what needs doing. The company told me due to the restructuring I have no legal recourse.

DO NOT SEND YOUR WATCHES HERE

Please don't fall for the slick website and google reviews. This company has recently gone into administration leaving a lot of people, myself included, with their watch being left either languishing somewhere in their office for months without any communication or returned without work being undertaken and no refunds available as the 'new' company isn't responsible. All emails are met with an automated response and phones are never answered. I'm now £577.20 out of pocket with no come back other than filling out a proof of debt form that the administrators have already told me will lead to nowhere. Walk away. Go straight to the manufacturer.

Terrible Service

Used these guys a couple of times. Latest experience was beyond shocking

Had 2 of my Hublot watches for over 8 months. Almost no communication throughout and constantly had to chase.

They even sent one of my watches to an old address. Despite confirmation of address being changed. Their solution was just to send a letter. ZERO urgency or care. Resulting in me having to drive a 2 hour round trip to collect it. Thankfully the person at the address was honest enough and I got it back

Called and spoke to one of the owners and expressed my disappointment at the service and what had happened with my watch being sent to the wrong address and I had to go get it. Didn't give a s*it, very nonchalant in response and it seemed a struggle to even apologise.

Won't ever use this company again. Appalling experience from start to finish for a company that handles prestige high value products

Fantastic service from start to finish

Fantastic service from start to finish
My Omega Seamaster needed a service and my local dealer had closed so, after some research, I choose Luxury Watch Repairs. The whole process was very easy, the postage pack was despatched quickly and then I was kept updated on the progress of the service and case refurbishment. Received my watch back on Monday and very happy with the results.
